Just to explain each of my ratings.
Gameplay: I give it a 3 star because the gameplay we had was definately fun, but there unfortunately wasn't more to do than look around and jump around. It's nice but obviously, with the time you didn't manage to add much more that you could do with the jumping so I gave you a 3 here.
Story: The story gets a 3 here, you can find hints of the story within the text from other people talking and the general layout of the whole city but it's something the viewer has to put together themselves and the story doesn't dive too deep, so I rated it a 3.
Presentation: I gave 4 stars for the presentation as I love the art style, it matches the aesthetic of the world being projected to us and the layout is very easy to understand. I also like the little comments from the people in the world to help us understand it more. I like that the ones speaking of nature are almost hidden away from everyone and the presentation helps out the story lots and I generally think you have presented this very well!
Creativity: I have given 5 stars here as I don't typically see games like this one personally. I think you have a lovely world and story being built up in each game you develop and I liked the creativity of even just the stage layout, where you hid some of the masked people. The different masks to, the working to be able to get to the sewer, the general aesthetic of the entire game. To me I think this deserves a 5 star as I don't see art or game stories like this much personally.
Horror: I've given horror a 4 as it's more of an unsettling horror of the thought of the world. It's more playing on the fear of living in a world like this but I don't think we get enough to properly feel unsettled. You definitely can feel unsettled, but I do think it was a little too short of an unsettling feeling for me to mark it higher in the horror. Though I think the horror is more unique by playing in the thought of being the character, rather than the people around or the surrounding being unsettling.
Theme: I gave this a four as again, this is honestly highly unique of a theme to me personally and I do think it's a nice theme to go down. I would have given it higher but I feel like we don't see enough of the theme for me to give it that 5th star, but you are definitely getting there. I do think the theme picked is honestly a really nice and pretty unique one!
